My Paul Weissler A Baruch Center government instructor once told his class, "I

hope you're not going to college with the idea of getting a high-paying job afterwards. Manual laborers get the money, not college firads. If you're looking for money, go out and work with your hands. A college education generally results in a low-paying job with nice working conditions."

This advice struck home. As an accountancy major, I pictured my "chosen field" 'as a compromise—a certain .amount of manual labor combined with working conditions slightly higher than in a factory. As long as I was obtaining a college education, it seemed logical ito study a field featuring a modest income jand delightful atmosphere. With my Tunick and Saxe under one arm and a ledger and journal pad under the other, I moved uptown.

I joined Observation Post at the start of my second semester on toe North Campus—it seemed a reasonable thing for an English major. I wrote a few stories that term, the whole business looked easy, and a copy editorship for the following term would not, I thought, be an unreasonable imposition on my spare time. It was, but a rather interesting one. The last two semesters, during which I have handled the news and features pages, have been hectic learning experiences. After wasting about sixty credits at the Baruch Center, I could ill afford to take the writing courses that are offered.

Working on the College newspapers leads to other things. Dur­ing the last spring term, 'I became a jmember of the Academic Free­dom Week Committee Speakers Bureau. At *he time AF IWeek fig­ured to continue in the manner of its predecessor—as an opportunity *>r the "liberal," socialist and pink propagandists to ipreach Iheir "gospel." Even the Communist International Union of Sindents sent congratulations, expecting the tradition to remain.

Well, it didn't. Unfortunately one Red did manage to break through. The absence of more was not missed. The presence of Roy

-Cohn, George Sokolsky and Victor Lasky made the Week eminently successful. I cannot, and probably never will, see whafra Communist -has to do with academic freedom, outside of using it for propaganda purposes. Academic freedom is part of America, and the honest views of differing Americans made for stimulating controversy.

As a reporter one my more unpleasant duties was covering Student (Council meetings. From my (observations, it seems tthjal ;a more useless assemblage could not exist. Each Wednesday these klunkies gather to discuss issues that are either beyond their power to correct or none of their business. The only work that is actually done is by the Student iGovernment agencies or the SC executive. The abolition /of /Council would be (a constructive move. In the meantime H extend good wishes to my old compatriot (at Taft, Jared Jussim, for a (successful term in spite -of tihe handicap o£ an unwieldy SG structure.

A "Thirty" column usually concludes with a mention of friends and faculty. I will next deviate from this tradition. A good goodbye from a member of the class of '55 who missed the boat to: Herb (Hydramatic) Loewy, Mel (one no-trump on fourteen points) Rappa-port, Bemie Weinberg, Sonny (and Joan? .". . ) Finkelstein, Bernie Cohen, Hank (Blockbuster) Blumenstein, "Slim Jim," Norm Zafman, N. B. (for the butt and coke) and little Joycie, who's a bit too young to read this. Adios to Fred who hawks his liberettos and to Mike Horowitz, who buys them.

Thanks-to my ,mother for putting tup with all this newspaper nonsense and those ridiculous hours I kept . . «. to (Bernie Feinberg for the heck of it. .; . . . /to ISFCSA for passing the club list amling and giving ihe leftists moments to remember . <. . ito Pete Franklin for the last minute help . . . to IPAC, which proved^Jby itSDextensive political activity, that club lists do not "deter political activity . f .

To Hank Grossman, my opposite number on the Campus for the past year, I offer the happy thought that we won't be fightin* any more. **

To the faculty that made things bearable .and were more than just teachers or just .administrators: Dr. Gallagher, Prof. IWisan (History), Dr. Duchachek (Government). Dean Peace and Mr. Zades of Student Life and Prof. Magalaner (English). They're all regular guys. *

Well, they're giving me a degree and I'm supposed to be pre­pared to take things from there. Fll find out soon enough how ready I am. Bye Bye Wambly—good luck (you'll need it) and hello Roscoe Worley Thorne II—here I come.

Canned Music Set for 'Airing1

Next Semester Tentative plans are being for­

mulated to hold outdoor concerts in May and June, according to the Student Council School Af­fairs Committee.

The committee has developed a program of Recorded Spring Concerts with Professor Mark Brunswick (Chmn. Music).

The concerts will be held on one or two days during the week other then Thursday. They will be held between 12-2 PM. It was suggested that the music be am­plified over loudspeakers in the area of the lawn in front of the Finley Student Center..

The committee plans to post beforehand a program of the works to be heard for each day. In this way it will avoid inter­ruptions between compositions in order to announce the title of the work.

The committee plans to estab­lish these concerts as semi-annual affairs. «

Paging System Set for Center

A paging system, consisting of s i x t e e n loudspeakers located throughout the building, has been installed in the Finley Student Center.

The system's main purpose will be to provide a quick means of communication in case of an emergency, such as a fire or air raid, .but it will also be used l o r paging individuals and groups.

Central units for the loud­speakers are located in the offices of Dean James S. Peace, Director of the Center, and Associate Di-

j rector David Newton. | The loudspeaker setup is a part of the intercommunication system now being set up among the va-

irious administrative offices and j fhe halls of the Center. The new | facilities "take some of the load j off the meager College telephone j communications we have," ac-i cording to Mr. Newton.

in similar emphasis at the Col­lege. The similarity between the College in its early days and West Point traditions did not end there.

Many instructors at* the College were graduated from the Point and the first two Presidents of the College were formerly West Point men. The first Presif.ent, General Horace Webster, taught at his alma mater as an Assistant Professor of mathematics before assuming the position of "Prin­cipal" of the Free Academy. As President of the College, Web­ster held a one-man daily version of a military court for students who had violated College regtila-tions.

Prankish students, attempting to upset his West Point dignity, once put the bookmark in his Bible at the same page every day, so that he repeated "Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego" for, several days before realizing wha* was

going on. He kept his however.

Blanka Eckstein L. Sr. 1 What Student Center? This

thing has broken up the social life of the College. Howard FeKlmjan L. Sr. 3

Nothing will ever replace the old cafeteria. Steve Waring L. Sr. 1

It's a tremendous improvement. We have something vaguely re­sembling College life, but unfor­tunately I see -no added spirit. Bob Liftin U. Fr. 3

I think it's terrific. You never fully realize what a tough job it is to organize a center like this, and I think a wonderful job has been done by all concerned. John Stipanela L. So. 1

I never use it. City College is still a subway college. Bert Linder L. So. 1

I personally have not derived any benefits from the Student Center. I have not broken the North Campus habit of just using the cafeteria. Barry Zawel L. Fr. 3

I don't know; I never go to the Center. Lenore Seidner L. Fr. 3

I like it. Lieselotte Singer L. So. 1

I think that more students should familiarize themselves with the facilities available in the Center. Phyllis Silver L. Fr. 3

The various lounges are beau­tiful, and I think the fact that they are very rarely empty shows that many students are familiar with the Center.

Pa^e Four O B S E R V A T I O N P O S T Tuesday, January (0, 1956.

By Selwyn Raab Twice a year, almost with the precision of the changing of the

beaver-hatted guards at Buckingham Palace, the College news­papers trot out their graduating editors, appropriate approximately twenty inches of. valuable space per graduate, and curtly tell them, "The time has come, we want your thirty column."

, For the benefit of the uninitiated, "thirty" in journalist parlance signifies the end of a story, and the connection here is obvious.

I suppose being a college editor has taken me behind what is considered the City College scene. Still, I don't feel omniscient enough to leave as my Last will and testament some pithy remarks dealing with all phases of City College life. Therefore, this is a dif­ficult column to write. Difficult because it is almost impossible to sum up objectively what four and one-half years of my life 'have meant in a few unimpassioned words.

Graduaition. like every other phase of life, (e.g. getting bar-miizvahed, final examinations) sneaks up on you iand before you fully realize it h.as already passed you by. One morning -an urgent communique arrives in the mail, politely informing you of ithe sum you lowe the Senior yearbook and the fact that only a week remains to have your photograph taken for said book. At ialmost the same time, jail your friends and relatives begin (bombarding you with ±he incessant refrain, 'Got a job lined up?" Is 'this, you ask yourself, what graduating means?

According to your predecessors, the great adventure is about to begin. New and exciting challenges are on the horizon, as well as numerous pitfalls to test your mettle—yet here you are, with no profound message to leave behind and with the Microcosm bill still unpaid.

In this, my final semester, I have felt strangely out of place, almost as if I were an intruder at fflhe College. My indolent nature could never acclimate itself to the long hauls between classes on ihe different c,ampus. Bui mostly

i 'Cherry Tree' Chinese Tale

ton and the dierry tree is as familiar to Nationalist Chinese children as it is to Americans, according to Mr. S. Chen (Elec-tHcal Engineering).

Sterling Honesty Mr. Chen who oame to the

United States a few years ago from Formosa, explained that the story is used there as the fore­most example of "sterling hon­esty."

In fact, he continued, the Na­tionalist Chinese educational sys­tem has been based, since the 1930's, on the American one.

lists After thirteen months of fight­

ing against membership lists backed up by both newspapers, a constant majority of Student Council, and a two to one vote of the students, it is discourag­ing indeed to see from a letter published over the name of Sal Westrich in last Friday's OP that our reasons for the fight are still misunderstood. May I tresspass upon your space and goodwill once more to state the issues as I see them?

I felt like an auslander because most of the people I spent the last four years here with have al­ready been graduated.

Still, professors stay on, and some of them, such as Professors Irving Rosenthal, Stewart Easton, Edward Mack, Murray Stall, and Daniel Parker have made college life something more than a haze of classes. Only now do I realize how they have subtly and grad­ually brought my ideas to frui­tion.

During the last two Vears, I have been closely associated with OP and its editorial policies. They are policies which b,ave some-limes been bitterly attacked, but which I have never been ashamed of. Whatever stands future edi­tors of OP take, I hope they will never lack the courage lo speak up strongly, regardless of how alone they may be or Ihow futile iheir position may seem at the moment.

Concerning extra - curricular life, which mostly meant OP, it has had its share of laughs, re­wards, and sometimes headaches. (Looking back now, it seems Strange that I once led a normal and sane existence before decid­ing to throw my lot in with the Managing Board. There were times during the last two years when my father seriously doubt­ed that a normal growing college student actually spent the early hours of the morning at a print­ing shop.

So this is it. For me, a Janu.ary graduate, there is no formal commencement exercise or a black robe to don. All that re­mains now is to complete this, Ihe last piece of oopy I will write for OP, in whose name many a class has been cut and a paper handed in late, take the remain­ing final examinations and re­ceive a few post cards recording \ a term's efforts or lack of them. \

2. S r a S A in setting up safe guards to prevent the leakage of the information has implicitly recognized this principle. Never, theless, the information remains on file unless the member spe­cifically asks for it to be de-stroyed.

3. If the information is not to be used, it seems unnecessary to have it on file at all, and there is ahvays the possibility of ieak age in spite of the most careful safeguards; students necessarily do not know how efficacious the safeguards are, and thus their political activity is inhibited. This, we believe, prevents par­ticipation by students in an activity which is of the utmost importance for the proper func tioning. of democracy.

4. No truly satisfactory reason has ever been given for the pos­session of the infonmation by the administration, since regulations of the BHE do not demand it. The names of the officers of the organizations have in the history of the College up to this time, been held sufficient for adminis­trative purposes.

Young scientist works on new ways

to improve metals Today scientists and engineers face one of the toughest barriers of all — the "metal barrier." Modem technology has progressed so rapidly that today's metals can't meet the tremendous demands placed upon them. For such fields as aviation, electronics, atomic 'energy, present metals must be improved and new kinds of materials must be developed.

One of the young men playing a role in this new and important field is 30-year-old Dr. Roland P . Carreker, Jr .

Carreker's Work Interesting, Vital

As a research associate in the General Elec­tr ic Research L a b o r a t o r y ' s Metals a n d Ceramics facility, Carreker's chief concern is the improvement of metals through new processing techniques.

^Ln his work. Dr. Carreker has dealt with such important metallurgical problems as metal failure in high-speed turbine rotors, determining the strength of pure metals from —125° F, the temperature of liquid hydrogen, to 2.800° F and economic studies of new metallurgical processes.

25,000 College Graduates at General Electric

\J hen Carreker came to General Electric in 19-17. he already knew the work he wanted to do. Like each of our 25.000 college-graduate employees, he is given a chance to grow and realize his full potential. For Gen­eral Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits — the in. dividual, the company, and the country.

•Music Review

Winter Contert ;By Stan Zarowia;

aston

The City College Orchestra and Chorus had every right to per­form in Town Hall Saturday night.

Under the direction of Professor Frits Jahoda (Music), the group presented Beethoven's "Symphony No. 8 in F Major," Bartok's "Divertimento For String Orchestra/' and excerpts from Schubert's "Mass No. 6 in E Flat Major" for chorus and orchestra.

The program was a well rounded selection of music. It ranged from the lyric vivaciousness of Beethoven's "Eighth" to the romantic solemnity of Schubert's "Mass": and between the two a stimulating interpretation of a contemporary work—-Bartok's Divertimento."

Musically speaking, the "Diveriimenio" -was indeed the most satisfying selection. Rarely performed, it offered a challenge to the interpretative ability of Prof. Jahoda and the group. The soloists— the Faculty String Quartet—played coherently and intelligently a piece of music, which if played mediocrily, could lhave easily be­come a iformless cacophony of notes.

Under the able baton of Prof. Jahoda and the workmenlike performances of Professor Felix Galimir (violin), Michael Tolomeo (violin), Professor Jack Shapiro (viola), Professor Otto Deri (tfello), and the assistance of Rogar Horn (double bass), an organically coherent and fascinating performance was delivered.

The Schubert "Mass" was a rewarding and ambitious under­taking, but the higthiight of the performance was little Sylvia Jenkins (soprano), whose ^excellent, well controlled voice, easily filled Town HalL Almost like a bell she rang above the ordhestra with crispness and a maturely controlled emotion. Constantine Gas-solas and Harold Brienes (tenors) also delivered crediipble pez-formances. .

Beethoven's "Eighth," the opening work was, for the most part, a disappointment. It lacked the color and movement which would have brought out the subtle sprightliness of the symphony. This was due to the variable and inconsistant pacing in the first, third and fourth movements, which the orchestra seemed to impose on the. conductor. This was combined with an overall lack of dexterity on the orchestra's part. It appeared that at times Prof. Jahoda had no choice but to slow up a particular passage for the ordhestra's sakp

No doubt Prof. Jahoda had wanted to strangle the two trumpet players who hid themselves safely behind the cellos. In a most dis­passionate way, the duet rackishly blasted over the entire orchestra. But if the conductor was satisfied with their performance, I'm sur© there were many (members of the audience, including myself, ^ h o would have been glad to stuff the ends of their horns, if only to muffle ithe noise.

The second movement (Allegretto scherzando) was played with relatively more deftness.

'Yet even with the intermittent brawly brass. Prof. Jahoda at­tempted and sometimes succeeded in pumping some life into the orchestra. -../Aj,4)5P^e^y.J?lPPe..rtoat the Music Department .will:.fee..^b!e to

Be a Hobo & See the World; (Auto Tours Slightly Higher)

A $650 "Hobo" tour and a "Do-It-Yourself" Vo&swagen itiner­ary are among the fourteen foreign tours being offered by the National Student Association (NSA) for the coming summer.

The tours, which are run on a"* ————— non-profit basis, range in cost from $650 to $970 with the av­erage at $880. In addition to a variety of trips to Europe and the Near East, specialized tours are offered concentrating on sculpture and painting, politics •and economics, and festivals and journalism.

"Hobo" Tour The "Hobo" tour will cover

Holland, Germany, Austria, Bel­gium, Italy, Switzerland, and France. LiJce all of the NSA tours will last approximately seventy-two days and the Atlantic cross­ing will be handled via special

but will offer slightly cheaper ac­commodations .

For the more independoit trav­eller a flexible tour employing Volkswagen autos is available at $750. Groups of four persons each will be provided with the auto, hotel accommodations and break­fast and supper. Students will be on their own during the day and while travelling.

a few countries intensively have several alternative trips to choose from. Five tours covering three or four countries are available at

OPortraits A Russian language instructor

at the College is looking for work. Professor M a r s h a l l Berger (Speech), who also doubles as a teacher of Russian, hasn't had a course in the subject to teach for a year.

Prof. Berger learned Russian while studying for his degree and when a teacher was needed for the course he volunteered. He taught Russian from 1949 to 1954. The course is not given now be­cause not enough students regis­tered for it.

This is a shame, Prof. Merger said, because of the importance of Russia in the world. today. "People who understand Russian are needed badly by the govern­ment for work in foreign affairs, and although it is a difficult language, Russian can be learned with a normal amount of work."

Dr. Berger's interest in lan­guages dates back to his child­hood. He got it from his mother, an actress in the Yiddish theatre.

When he first entered the Col­lege in 1938 as a student, he was undecided about a choice of ma­jor, language or his recently ac­quired love of mechanics, but he eventually decided and major­ed in speech.

After graduation from the Col­lege, he took his Phd, in general linguistics. Before he could obtain a job, he accepted a free 'round the world tour—from the army.

"At this time many people took courses ranging all the way from languages to plumbing in order to get inter" special branches of the service,'-' said Prof. Berger. "I studied radio repair and went into the signal corps," and off to Germany.

At "the end of the war the Al­lies took over the government of the conquered cities of Germany. Dr. Berger, who was at that time an interpreter, asked to be trans-t ferred to this division. Thanks to his experience in radio he was made chief studio engineer of the Frankfurt radio. He enjoyed this work very much and still works in radio during the summer. He spent last summer as a disc jockey in North Carolina.

Prof. Berger's familiarity with radio led to another draft—as faculty advisor of the College radio station, WVCC.

Why John Gunther reads

The Reader's Digest

"J am fond of The Reader's Digest on all sorts of scores, but mainly because it always lives up uncompromisingly to being what its name implies—a service to readers. In a dozen languages — Inside Asia, Inside Europe, Inside South America, Inside Africa—it brings readers an in-vahiable cargo of pleasure, information and encourage­ment sifted scrupulously and zealously from printed pages all over the world."

UNLESS YOU DENY YOURSELF. The prevailing idea of millions today is: "How can I enjoy myself?" Famed author A. J. Cronin shows why nothing of real value can be accomplished without self-disci­pline; and why the surest path to true success and happiness is in learning to do without.

The battle will be videod over WATV (Channel 13) a t 9 PM, from the Second Corps Armory, 15th St. and 8th Ave., the Ter-j-iers' home court.

St. Francis has averaged close io ninety points a game in roll­ing up nine straight wins. The Brooklynites boast a sharp, jump-shooting squad led by Jim Mur­phy, Dan Mannix, Les Yellin, and Tony D'Elia. Al Inniss, 6 foot 7 inches, and Walt Adamusbko, a 6-6, 220-pounder are the Ter-

boardmen. Both can score, rier too.

Jim Johnsen Setfs Ttoo Records

a 2-1 record and are undefeated in Met league competition, will play host to the Columbia mer­men tomorrow at 4 PM.

Swimmers Sink Hunter; Set Two Pool Records

By BOB MAYER ' Three pool records and two team manks fell by the wayside Sat­

urday when the College's swimming team defeated the Hunter mer­men, 49-35, at the latter's Bronx pool. Beaver captain Jim Johnsen shattered pool records in the 220- *• yard and 440-yard freestyle events, while the Hawks' Otto Wied and Norm Bressaok set new marks in the diving event and 200-yard individual medley relay, respectively.

The Beavers got off to a fly­ing start when the relay team of Sol Stern, Shelly Manspeizer, «nd Joe White scored a vicftory in the 300-yard medley.

The next event saw the first record established. Johnsen com­pleted the 220-yard freestyle in 2:29.2, chopping 6.1 seconds off the old mark. The Beavers' Roy Schlacter placed second, giving them a 13-1 lead.

-Richie Silverstein then in­creased the Lavender margin tq 18-5 by *co<ppiiig the fifty-yard

•freestyle.. Hunter Threatens

At this pojnt Hunter began to move. They cut the deficit to 21-tl!l when in the individual medley Bressack and Bob Gross finished first and third, with the College's Jerry Lopat in second; • - • ' .

The Hawks then registered their best victory of the after­noon, when Wied and Pete Firikler finished one-two in the diving event. Wied showed the ^Form that placed him second in the Met championships last year, and received 56.4 points, an all-time Hunter record as well ^s a new pool mark. The College's Joe Weissman placed third, allowing the Beavers to maintain a slim 22-19 lead.

With the Hawks breathing down their necks, however, the Beavers took command. Johnsen and Silverstein finished one-two in the 100-yard freestyle, Stehi and Lopatin placed first and third in the 200-yard backstroke, and Johnsen and Al Worshawer copped the first two spots in the 440-yard freestyle. Johnsen cov­ered the 440 in 5:47.5, another new pool mark. Manspeizer then outraced two Hawks in the 220-yard breaststroke to give the Beavers a 49-28 lead.

With the outcome of the meet already decided, Hunter scored an easy victory in the last event, the 400-yard freestyle relay.

Nimrods Meet Brooklyn Poly

The College's rifle team will attempt to raise its season's percentage above the .500 mark, when they face a Brooklyn Poly Evening Session team at 6 PM, in the Lewisohn Stadium rifle range today.

The nimrods presently sport a four won, four lost record, as the result of victories over Stevens Tech, Columbia, Seton Hall and New York Maritime Academy, and defeats by Hofotra, St. Johns, Fordham, and Rutgers.

New coach Sargeant First Class Arthur Cariddi will depend heav­ily on Sal Sorbera, John Mar-ciniak, and Werner Hartl, the team's three top scorers, to bring the Beavers a victory. Others ex­pected to go to the firing line are: Norman Hess, Steve Madigan, Morty Solomon, Robert Sullivan and Ernest Trump.

first ten minutes of the game were highlighted by a "shooting contest" between^ ILevy and Rutgers' Aurrell Leaf andT Pave Stires. The last two shared their team's initial twenty points, while Levy scored eleven of the Lavender's fifteen tallies. Leaf paced his squad's scoring with twenty points before he fouled out midway in the second half.

City, who employed a sliding zone defense in the opening pe^ riod, switched to a man-to-man counterattack in the second chap­ter. As Coach Nat Holman said after the game, "That was the big difference. Whereas the Rut­gers team had been getting free shots earlier, our change in de­fensive tactics stopped them." MHIIilllMiMM^

Parriers Pierce Peter's,

The College's fencers scored their first victory of the season last Saturday by soundly trouncing St. Peter's College 21-6 in the Win-gate Gym. The win brought the Beavers' season record to one win and one loss. • ~ — — .

ness bf having Wolfe in the foil, Lucia added, "In view of the results, the switch of Wolfe, was successful. Our team is now better balanced, with Wolfe strengthening the foil, and Urci-ouli filling in the epee spot so adequately. Also, Hochman's per-formance showed that I can de­pend on him in the future, which will greatly increase our depth."

Bob Goldiberg (foil), Bnino Scherz (foil),- arid Norman Grau-bert (sabre), also made their de­buts in the third round. Despite their losing, Lucia felt that, "they showed improvement, and the experienced they have gained wUl be valuable." ,

The Lavender attack was paced by the epee team, which won eight of, nine bouts. Norm Zaf­man, Olympic squad man, scored triumphs in all his three deci­sions. -Jonas Ulenas and Urciouli each captured two bouts.

Leading I f - l at the end of the second round, Coach Edward Lucia, former coach of St. Peter's, had an opportunity to employ most of his inexperienced sopho­more fencers. The match also pro­vided Lucia with an opportunity to test the effectiveness of his decision to place veteran epee-man Joel Wolfe into the fail divi­sion. On both counts, Lucia was "very much encouraged."

Speaking of his sophomores Al Michelucci (foil), Stan Hochman (epee and foil), and Tony Urciouli (epee), Lucia said, "their perfor­mances were outstanding. All showed excellent timing and con­trol. I was particiularly im­pressed by Michelucci. He han­dled himself like a veteran, showing proper tempering nt un­der the pressure of competition. I hope to develop him into'-one of City's finest fencers."
